Every begining has an END!

..only sausage has two ends..haha. That's German joke by the way, if you got it :)
So, here comes the end, my farewell! Scheduled to depart on 5th Feb, I just had a week full of farewells. Just 2 days before I flew, I organized such an awesome house party so much so after I woke up the next day, I broke down so badly as I recollected memories of laughters, screams, expressions and visuals of people that were so real. Trust me, nobody knows this feelings until you yourself experience the whole process of traineeship!!! I was so devastated that I was not even packing my luggage just 10 hours before my flight. Thanks to Martin and Natalia! They helped me hell of alot. They were practicaly stuffing all my stuffs into 2 pathetic luggages. I did manage to check them in though. I was suprisingly being granted 35kg, which was expected to be only 25kg. Thank God! Indeed nerve-wrecking because I had to repack my initial 44kg to 35kg at the airport. Not an easy feat. Being back home now, I am struggling to reintegrate and move on with optimism in life. What the heck!! anyway, these photos below remain one of the best time in Switzerland.

Yammmmmmmmm...Sing! :) We almost attracted the police, but again, what's a party without police!! :p

Atmosphere of our vacant room transformed into a party room!!

My 1st Skiing Vacation

So far, I rate my skiing vacation as the funniest vacation ever had. I went to St. Moritz ( known as the rich n famous ) from 13th-16th January. Thanks to Kai - great skiing instructor and life-saviour!! :)

Kai said I was the best student he ever had, hehe..comparing me to his German and Indian friend, although kai had to save me several times before I dared to fall. I promised to come back...with more action and speed!! :)

Picturesque and breath-taking..

One day of sleighing with Kai. Gave me completely the reversed feelings of skiing..more insane crashes, bumpyness and speed altogether!

Kai & me on the lift which took us up the mountain. We came home, with big bruises, aching legs, and extreme pain in the ass!! :p

Un-Asiatic Eastern Europe Tour :)

Dec 05 and Jan 06 have been insane..I really hardly find time for anything. I was not only away for my 3-week tour around Eastern Europe ( for Christmas and New Year ), but as soon as I got back, I was a little pressured by work and all those future and dilemma problems if I would like or could stay on in Switzerland. Anyway, cut it short, I finally found some time to sort out my photos and organise all my events. These are pictures which could save me alot from writing :) My vacation was amazing!!! You will never guess how much it opened up my horizon. This time, not the Asian style anymore :) I had a free & easy, could also due to the all-time freezing weather, however it was really made up by the vast experiences of many 1st time encounters and what I experienced at my friends' villages mostly at the countryside.
The pictures are posted dated from last to first destination. There are more pictures with captions on my Photo Album.

Vemend - We all had home-made meat and vegetables, but as I witnessed the production of pork and sausages, it was really gross for the first time to put meat in my mouth!! Almost threw it up!!hey,not exaggerating at all!!

Vemend - How sausages are made!!

Vemend - Ewww...Dont know if I should recommend anyone to see how you butcher a pig.

Budapest - Chain Bridge & Buda Castle was beautifully illuminated at night

Budapest - Chinese Restaurant. Decided to try because my friend,Hedvig and her brother said it was much cheaper than in Switzerland. Still, nothing beats mum's cook food :)

Budapest - Panorama of Buda & Pest ( separated by Danube River )

Znojmo - Me in this funny little train of Czech countryside.

Znojmo - Me at Zdenek's hometown. Zdenek ( right ) and his father

Prague - Celebrated New Year's Eve at Vysehrad ( Vysehrad was a castle built in 10th Century and located above a cliff over the Vltava river ). Hence, it was a popular spot to release fireworks, as for me, better place to enjoy the colourful fireworks.

Prague - Me and Radek out for the New Year's Eve. Clearly I was the victim, we had snow fight; me Vs 2 men!! c'mon,where is the sense!!

Prague - Overview of Prague, a day after a heavy snowfall.

Lublin - Bart's little hometown, looked as though it was ran down since World War 1 :)

Lublin - Christmas Eve Dinner with Bart and his family. Christmas is indeed all about the food, food and FOOD!! Believe me, I put on so much weight after Christmas and New Year.

Warsaw - I saw for the first time, frozen lake. With this little astonishment and curiosity, I stepped onto the ice, and before I could take another step, the ice cracked, my right leg fell into the freezing water,while I was struggling to cling on to the tree. Haha..silly me! Bart pulled me out..then i slowly regained my conscious.Gosh..!! I was indeed so close to drowning n DEATH. Couldn't stop laughing after that,of how easily I could get myself killed !! haha..

Warsaw - Lazienki Park, nice for a stroll, not quite in winter though

Warsaw - Palace of Culture & Science, a gift from Soviet Union to Warsaw.

Berlin - Age-old Berliner Dom

This was taken in Zoologischer Garten, known as the hip n happening area of Berlin which is contrary to its medieval and historical monuments and architecture of Eastern and Western Europe colony.

Berlin - Reichstag building i.e. the heart of Berlin's parliamentary quarter.

Berlin - Xmas market and other entertainment close to the METRO station.
